Menu from the action

[user4592357]

i'm adding a QMenus to a QWidget, but then when i try to find a menu with the given title, i get nullptr. here's how i'm doing it:

for(auto action : widget->actions()) {
    QMenu *menu = action->menu();
    if(menu && menu->title() == title)
        return menu;
}
return nullptr;

what is wrong?

What does this output? Is the title you're looking for there?

for(auto action : widget->actions()) {
    QMenu *menu = action->menu();
    if (menu)
        qDebug() << menu->title();
    if(menu && menu->title() == title)
        return menu;
}
return nullptr;

i'd tried that. menu is nullptr

@user4592357
and what did
qDebug() << menu->title();

show/list ?

i didn't try that but how could that work if menu was nullptr?

actually i solved this by getting action's widget and then getting widget's menu and comparing that menu's title to the input title

@user4592357 Maybe it isn't null but the title is different to what you are searching?

i figured out what why menu was nullptr. i actually called setMenu() on action's widget, not on actual action, so now i set the menu to the action and the loop works correctly
